Hearing Chu Shaoyuan say this, the expression on Emperor Wen's face softened, and he looked at him lovingly, "It's not easy for you to have this benevolence, it's really hard to keep up to now tonight, go to the side hall to rest for a while, and I have something to tell you tomorrow morning." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded: "So many things have happened today, my father should be tired, so my father should rest early." With that, he retired.

Emperor Wen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking at Chu Shaoyuan's departing back, and sighed for a while.

I didn't expect that the third child had a benevolent heart, which is like being enough for himself, and like being full of snow, if Ruxue is still alive, I'm afraid I will be happy.

His eyebrows frowned even deeper, but unfortunately, being an emperor could not have such a benevolent heart.

was stunned, and heard Chang Yifeng in the inner hall ask unceremoniously: "How should the emperor arrange the affairs of his subordinates?" Chang Yifeng didn't care about Emperor Wen's imperial identity at all, although he was just a killer, but he had always been very helpless in front of Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen retracted his gaze and looked at Chang Yifeng, this person was originally just a famous killer in the top row of the rivers and lakes, but when he tracked down Lin Yanyu's affairs back then, he happened to track him down, and then learned from him that a few years ago in the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry of the Central People's Republic of China, there was no bloodless fight, although he had ascended the throne at that time, but the internal and external troubles had not been eliminated, and there was no other spirit to deal with Lin Yanyu, so that Lin Yanyu would have been growing his power in the rivers and lakes.

Now looking at Chang Yifeng, the grandson of the former household Shangshu, Emperor Wen also felt a little headache.

can not give him the corresponding official position, after all, people are killers and the like, and the reputation of the Qingye Palace in the rivers and lakes is extremely poor, and it cannot be ignored, in the end, it is for his use.

Emperor Wen thought for a while and said, "If you are willing to take the official career, I can arrange you to be in the camp of Xishan." ”

Chang Yifeng smiled: "There is no need to be so troublesome, the Qingye Palace is in the rivers and lakes, as long as the emperor has any orders, the Qingye Palace will die with liver and brains, but the subordinate family, can the emperor take care of one or two? It is said that the Yamen incident of the Ministry of Industry implicated Lin Baixuan, and by the way, the grandfather of his subordinates was implicated, and he was removed from his post, and it didn't matter if his subordinates were abducted by the strongman, but his subordinates' family members were innocently implicated. ”

Emperor Wen didn't expect this killer organization, he only knew that the person who killed people and sold goods would miss his family like this, thought about it for a while, and said: "I have my own decision on this matter, you don't have to be anxious." ”

Chang Yifeng stopped talking, he had been in contact with Emperor Wen for so long, so he naturally knew some of Emperor Wen's temperament, saying that he was the emperor, but his temperament was still weaker and not tough enough.

Looking at what has happened in the court in the past ten years, we can know what kind of monarch he is, and among the princes of the next generation, there are only one or two who stand out, and now these two also show the influence of his temperament brought to them by the emperor, but I am afraid that Dayan may not be in a situation in the future.

He didn't mention the matter of his family again, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates of those machine crossbows have already let people escort them to the Shenji camp, and tomorrow it will have an effect, and the emperor will be able to see the results as long as he waits patiently." ”

Emperor Wen was a little tired at the moment, nodded lightly, and let him retreat.

……

Chu Shaoyuan walked out of the inner hall, and when he arrived in the outer hall, he saw Feng Xu Zhao standing aside in the outer hall, watching the prince being pressed down on the bench next to the stick, the stick was solid, and every time he hit it, it made an extraordinarily dull sound.

It's not like the kind of crackling and crisp sound that usually comes from the board, this kind of solid stick is silent and silent, in fact, it is very painful, and you can know how much pain he endured when he looked at the blood stains on the prince's buttocks and down his pants, and the forbearance on his face, not to mention the cold sweat that kept coming out of his head, almost wetting his clothes, you can know how much pain he endured.

Chu Shaoyuan's expression was a little subtle, and when he passed by the prince, he whispered: "It's a pity, the second brother has been planning for several months, but he still hasn't been able to hide it from his father." ”

The prince was being punished, and when he heard these words, he was so angry that he almost exploded.

He looked at Chu Shaoyuan coldly, his eyes were full of anger: "You little bastard, don't think that you won, this palace tells you that you are just being used as a pawn by your father, and your father will not pass on the throne to you!"

Chu Shaoyuan's heart was cold, although he didn't know what he was talking about, but he had some feeling of being a chess piece, so he stopped at the moment and looked at him sideways: "Second brother still looks down on me, it is the father's business to pass on the throne to whoever my father wants to be, where can I ask my father for anything as a child?"

The prince couldn't help but laugh when he heard Chu Shaoyuan's words that were not right, but it was a pity that he was still next to the stick, and when he smiled, he felt a pain in his heart, and he coughed loudly without holding on.

It wasn't until the forty sticks had fallen down and the muffled sound in his ears had subsided, that the prince took a breath and eased up.

Chu Shaoyuan waited by his side, and after he finished speaking, the prince's heart became more and more proud, and his face was also full of pity and sympathy.

"You should... If you pretend to have no desires and no desires, I don't know what you think in your heart?" the prince opened his mouth with a little difficulty, and his eyes were full of pity for him, "Let me tell you clearly, you will never ascend to the throne, just because your mother concubine was ordered to die by your father, you can know ...... your father to you"

Before the prince finished speaking, Feng Xuzhao had already glanced at the eunuch who was executing, and the eunuch hurriedly diverted the prince's words.

"Third prince, the side hall is ready. ”

Chu Shaoyuan's eyes were cold and his face was cold, he didn't suspect these things at the beginning, but his father looked like he had a deep affection for his mother, and he still managed to hide it from him, but how did the prince know about such a thing?

He glanced at the crown prince, who had been dragged back to the inner hall by the executing eunuch, leaving only blood marks all the way.

Feng Xu Zhao arched his hand on the side and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, don't take it to heart, after all, he is a person who is about to be questioned by the emperor, and he dares to make up anything." ”

Chu Shaoyuan sneered in his heart, the prince really has no hope, so he will bite indiscriminately, but who dares to say that the prince's indiscriminate bite is not the real truth? It's just that he is weak now, and it is not a good time to pursue it, and this tone can only be endured for the time being, and then discuss it after his wings are full.

He put away the coldness on his face, smiled faintly, did not speak, and turned into the side hall.

……

Russell returned to the Fuyuan Hall and told Concubine Zhuang and Chanyi about the matter.

"When the slave maid went to the Qianyuan Palace, it was Xiao Mencius who guarded the outer hall, the slave and the maid felt very strange, Xiao Mencius was just an outer temple steward, and he became a steward eunuch at some point, and what was even more strange was that Xiao Mencius did not even let the slave and maid enter the outer hall, but the incense was collected, and he entered the palace in a hurry, the hall was very quiet, and it sounded like there were not many people waiting, and after a long time, Xiao Mencius came out, saying that the emperor had fallen asleep, and said that the matter of incense would be reported to the emperor tomorrow. ”

When Concubine Zhuang heard this, she sighed in her heart, only to feel the coldness of her heart hit her chest, and her whole heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar.

She was a little panicked, and looked at Chanyi's face was pale, "This ...... Could it be true?"

Chanyi also felt that things were becoming more and more strange, in the emperor's palace, what is in charge is what is in charge, this is not similar to his own house, if there is not enough manpower, anyone on top can become, the so-called companion is like a companion tiger This sentence is not false at all, if the palace can let a person who sweeps the floor and wipes the dust manage it, it can be seen that something must have happened in the palace.

She couldn't help frowning, looked at Concubine Zhuang and said: "I don't know what the Qianyuan Palace is now, when I came to the Fuyuan Palace before, I had already mentioned this matter to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't seem to take it to heart, Auntie, what do you think about this matter?"

Concubine Zhuang is also a mess now, she still remembers that the last time she was so thrilling was more than ten years ago, she was just waiting for the word boudoir, and that battle was won by Emperor Wen in the end, and then her father agreed to her to enter the palace, otherwise her father would not have put her in the fire pit, and she has always been protected by the queen mother's aunt in the palace over the years, and what wind and waves are thunder and rain, so she is not a person with ideas in these things.

Seeing that Concubine Zhuang couldn't say why, Chanyi couldn't help but say again: "Who are the people in Yan Yunwei in the palace who are on errands now? There will always be people who are loyal to the emperor, and there should be other ministers on duty today in addition to Liang Ge Lao, if the emperor really falls into the hands of the prince at this time, as long as the emperor is alive, there will be a chance to turn around if he does not write an edict to pass on the throne!"

These concubines naturally know about it, but the key problem is that the inner palace is not allowed to interfere in politics, even if she finds something wrong, she can't really make a move, otherwise the spittle of the civil official will drown her.

Concubine Zhuang thought for a while and said: "This matter still has to go through the Queen Mother, otherwise, you rest first, I will go to see the Queen Mother, and I will rescue the emperor no matter what!"

Chanyi hurriedly grabbed Concubine Zhuang's figure that wanted to leave, "Auntie, don't worry, you have to think clearly about how to say this to the Queen Mother, after all, rebellion is a big crime, if you can't convince the Queen Mother, I'm afraid it will implicate you." ”

Concubine Zhuang frowned, she really forgot about it, and hesitated: "I can't say anything else, and I can't mention you, so I have to say that I was worried about the emperor's body, afraid that he wouldn't sleep well, and then sent the palace people over, and then I found something unusual." ”

Chan Yi thought about this argument and could say it in front of her, so she said: "Since you let the Queen Mother take action, you must first ensure that the emperor can survive until dawn." ”
